There's just something about a good French film I have to watch - I can't really explain it except that if it's good - it just hits all the right spots - just like Yes, Yesterday, or Eat Drink Man Woman, or Saving Face - it has that feel - that openess - that honesty to it - where I just can't turn away.
Can't top Jeux d'enfants - but not bad at all.
